• Information and Communications Technologies for Development (ICT4D) Specialization

  Digital Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are helping to revolutionize human lives. As part of this process, they have changed development patterns in countries and regions around the world. This specialization is intended to expose students to necessary concepts and skills to participate in ICT4D. Students will learn to apply technical aspects of ICTs as well as international development, culture, and sustainability.
